Is not this altar of earth intended to shew, that as the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof, and nothing of creature property is to be mixed with it, so salvation is all the Lord's; nothing of human merit or work composing any part of it? Isaiah 63:5. Is not the presence of the Lord here promised, the grand cause intimated wherefore sacrifices, or offerings, are accepted? 2 Samuel 6:11 with Matthew 28:20; Matthew 28:20. And doth not the prohibition of lifting up a tool upon the altar, imply that nothing can be offered of ours upon that Altar, (which is Christ himself), that sanctifieth the gift, without polluting it? Revelation 22:18.
